how do I receive the gil from items sold on the MB? Does it go to my mailbox?
Your retainer has it
Question: I know there were some stuff mentioned in Eulmore about unlocking vendors by doing certain quests, but I can't seem to find anything in the city proper. Did it get removed or am I blind?
At the bell to summon your retainer there should be an option to entrust/withdrawl Gil. Can take it off them from there.
getting a story skip gets you the aether currents in the area too right?
Have to start back at floor 1 for the achievements
How To Unlock Eulmore Merchants In Final Fantasy XIV
When you are in Eulmore, speak with the Gem Trader. The game provides a small, informational pop-up informing you of how to unlock the extra merchants. You need to bring further security to each of the new zones. Translation, you need to reach maximum Shared Fate level with each of the 6 new zones in Shadowbringers. You can check the Shared Fates menu under the Travel menu in-game.
oh so it doesnt?
Yes, no quest needs you to be on that job
thx, vitali, i thought i needed to unlock them for custom deliveries. guess not.
how do i get to chocobo forest i did not find anything on google
Awesome!!
ugh so much running, when can i get a mount?
20
lv 20 msq
also the quest to get the mount is not in msq, but you unlock it through msq after you choose a grand company
ok thanks only 12 levels left then :p
how do i get to chocobo forest
bro just walk like what
Weapons arr always in a different vendor due to how theyre obtained when they were curre t
Unless you're doing it via the sundry splendors
is there an autorun toggle?
r default
Can I go into a level unsynced trial and finish it for a quest objective, or will level unsyncing cause it to not fill in a quest objective?
Does FFXIV still have the returning friend similar to the recruit a friend? Going to be coming back to the game after a taking a break for almost 2 years.
any help please
walk
which should i go for?
oh ok, thats odd that they dont have that.
iron works??
Yes
primal?
No
highest item level
Ironworks is the highest ilvl
ok iron works
what ?
Do story
do you have forelands unlocked?
And you'll be taken
To tailfeather
And the chocobo forest
The way is blocked
Until you do the story
no
how to increase my Mining at level 28?
leves?
if you havent unlocked quarrymill leves yet, do the "leves of quarrymill" quest first on a battle job
yes leves
well if you havent unlocked them yet you might not have allowances
how far are you in msq
In Search of Iceheart
then probably just do your gc turn ins every day, unlock leves so you start building allowances and then just mine stuff ig
allowences? and gc means grand company right?
found where I need to go, @hidden cypress thank you!
np
Hey, I'm just after some advice for a macro. I'm playing White Mage, and I have my heals setup as mouseover macros.
But is it possible to have them cast on mouseover, or if that unit doesn't exist (my mouse isn't on a unitframe), cast on my current target instead?
cant do conditionals
but you could probably just make it do both, if the first one goes through the 2nd wont bceause gcd
- please don't use macros for any GCD ever
- even on oGCDs it's not advisable
however there is a third-party addon solution for mo heals
often bad to put skills on macros though, since you wont have the casting grace period
Oh? Please tell 🙂
on normal casts if u hit it 0,5s before the cd is done, it will cast right away. not on macros
hey guys, is it possible for the target debuff tracker to only show my debuffs on the mob?
it should be pinned somewhere... hmm
Yes. Character configuration > ui > hud
Somewhere in there is a toggle "show only debuffs you inflict"
do guild buffs not work in diadem?
Ah it's pinned in #healer-lounge
thank you!
note it will break every patch until the addon is updated
Hey guys, how do i unlock the primals version extreme?
Gotcha, thanks again
What primal?
Actually just check out this
!faq contentunlock
ctrl + F extreme
that's for the hard modes
you need the hard modes for xt
which are a prerequisite to the extremes
you need to do those quests befoer
but the path to follow to reach the extreme quests may not always be clear
is there any point in charging up the compressed aether to max in diadem?
Nope
Is there anything interesting in Zadnor's chests ?
ok, question: I'm trying to macro Bryegot's Blessing, but it keeps saying it isnt a valid action name. am i missing anything?
1 bar per shot
Is it possible to craft multiple of same item at once instead of doing 1. Hitting N. clicking same item synthesize. Craft - repeat?
You've misspelled it
Byregot's Blessing
A hairstyle and emote
no mount ?
😦
Handful of minions
Once you reach level 10, you unlock quick synthesis. Lets you mass produce a recipe.
Some primal weapons like Sophia
may you live a long and fulfilling life
hello guys, my game keeps crashing with these errors
does anyone know what could be causing it
Remember you can use auto translate in macros for skill names
To avoid the whole misspelling
really? thats dope
Yes, don't even need quotations for those either
so how do you all fill your glamour chest? do you just fill it with literally anything?
Anything you think looks good and you want to keep to use as glamour
or does the 400 item limit force you to choose which items you can really keep?
naturally
aight, cool. thanks
[some character spoilers maybe] RE: triple triad deck, Can anyone tell me what's wrong with my deck? I thought you can have one 5*, two 4* and two 3* at any given time.
You can have one 5, one 4 and three 3s.
what's the down side to red mages in raids? like why would someone choose a red mage over a black mage or do raids bring both? I've been playing red mage for a bit and they seem pretty OP
The rules are worded in a very specific way
You can have two 4star or higher cards but only one 5star card
so you can have two 4s and zero 5s
or you can have one 4 and one 5.
Hold up? That game looks like the one from FF8?
yeah Triple Triad
it is!
hey I'm trying to complete the "seeking inspiration" quest for singing clusters, but I've done the duty roulette: leveling and I got nothing, is there something Im missing here ?
how many missions do i need to do, to buy the beast tribe's minions and mounts?
how do i take items from my armoury chest and place them in my inventory, ive seen videos of people having their gear in their inv
im currently level 27 mining, are there quests other than the job quests I can do to level up?
Right click, move to inventory
oh pog
yo
do leves quests
i have a sam who is lvl 54 and i have a bunch of weapon coffers i cant open with him
You can set it so that newly received gear goes into your inventory instead of straight into your armoury chest
how ;o i need that
@leaden ginkgo which ones?
Character Configuration -> Item Settings -> Untick "Store all newly obtained items in the Armory Chest"
Sam ARR weapons don’t exist sub 115
youll needa find the ones that give lvl25 field ones
poggg
makes it easier to keep track of newly obtained gear, and filter which ones you wanna keep and which ones you wanna get rid of
so just wait to get gear from sam quests
@leaden ginkgo ok so your answer to my question is "find the quests youre looking for" .....
How do i get the fish that i could dive in the red sea with?
i left the diviing area and cant seem to get it back
no
Ctrl+spacebar by default
The manta ray? that was just temporary for a quest. You can get it permanently by ranking up the Kojin Beast Tribe Quests.
But all your mounts can swim underwater.
oh im sorry i didnt know i was suppose to know the location of all leve's ,-, i dont even know where they are for when i lvl my doh's/dol's
i just wanted to use the fish
@leaden ginkgo If you dont know the answer to my question why give a smart aleck answer
How do these characters that are online 24/7 stay online with the Connection Lost icon next to their names? They've been there for quite a long time.
To be fair either of you could have googled this by now 
Which leves are you after exactly?
then maybe you are in the wrong channel
Then please don't give non-answers if you're not going to be helpful
!mute @leaden ginkgo 8h
there, now they have to go to bed.
So to ask my question again: im currently level 27 mining, are there quests other than the job quests I can do to level up?
If I buy the complete edition off g2a or some other site will it work? Im playing the free trial on steam btw
no, you must buy off steam
level 25 Miner levequests can be found in Quarrymill
thanks!
Do chocobo challenge race rewards get the 50% increase or is the flat reward amount? Just wondering if its worth chasing the ranks to get more of them
crap, gotta pay 40 instead of 20
Do previous event items like Moonfire items show up in upcoming events of the same theme?
Gotcha, thank you!
Hey is Hildibrand suppose to be stuck in the ground like this?
yes
xD
what about the square enix site? its 60% off there
I just saw somebody feed something a “handful of sour skittles” 🤔is this a real thing? No way there’s skittles in this game
no, that would've been a custom emote using /em
You can write custom emote text like /em does you a violence
Waking sands minfilia
there is a /handover emote that lets you feed a minion
is it worth buying mounts on the marketplace? or are the ones on the marketplace fairly easy to get?
and you can type "motion" after it in order to just do the motion without the text
Thanks haha I’ll keep that in mind :) you guys are smarty pants and I am the big dumb
None of the mounts on the marketplace can be obtained in-game
Depends on the mount. Generally their MB price is relative to the difficulty of obtaining them through other methods.
but they're no better than other mounts, so they're not worth unless you really want it?
oh
I thought you meant Mogstation
I want the sheep!
must be steam
That's the Albino Karakul, it's obtained by trading 8,400 Skybuilder's Scrips in the Firmament
bit of a grind to get those amounts
Obtainability of market board mounts varies a lot. The sheep is bought with Skybuilders Scrips which are pretty easy to get if you go heavy into crafting
Looking at the marketboard, seems like it's selling for about 1mil gil on crystal
but wouldn't be worth getting into crafting big time just to get the mount. It'd be better to buy it with gil
yeah its like $990k on mine
im a poor sprout
I guess that's the other question, how does one make gil haha
How do I get Yellow Gatherers' Scrips?
get collectibles and then turn them into collectible appraiser
!faq dolcollect
ty!
easy way, by doing roulettes, challenge log, and treasure maps
Ocean fishing also gives gatherer scrips
involved way, learning econ 101 and playing the marketboard
So I had another question 😅idk if anybody here would be able to answer that well but I’m having some difficulty with the Black Mage quest “You’ll never go back” and I keep getting destroyed by these imps. Does anyone have any tips
How up to date is your gear?
What do you mean by up to date? I kind of have just been using the stuff I’ve been getting from quests. Let me see if I can do a pic of my load out rn
Like what level stuff are you using
go in your character menu and hit the recommended gear button
It’s a level 35 quest
its above ur weapon
If you’re in like level 15 gear you’re gonna die.
Having the appropiate gear is Always recommended
Your dexterity is unusally high?
This is all appropriate gear. It’s all i have 😅
Those imps just have crazy high spell cast speed and there’s two of em to start so I get wrecked
Are you doing a proper rotation?
maybe you arent using your skills correctly
!faq blmleveling
Yessss the only thing is I can’t do fire 3
Question do all your equips have Intelligence stat?
They do!
In Triple Triad Ascension, do ranks cap at A? i.e. does A+2 beat 9+2 or not?
And I’m making sure to use thunder and using any proc I get of thunderstorm
Stats are weird early on
how does the experience work for the palace of the dead
They cap at A yes, so A+2 and 9+2 are equal value
ugh
Can Ala Mihgo dungeon be accomplished alone (unsynced)?
how hhigh is the droprate for the arr extreme trial mounts?
I’ll try it again. Maybe I can do it better now. I’ll let you guys know! Thanks for the tips
If you’re level 80 maybe? Wouldn’t recommend
25% ive been told
When do Collectable Appraisers change the items they are appraising? I'm level 80 and have enough materials to craft 122 items.
If all else fails, drink a potion
thanks though
im almost at heavnsward, If I buy the complete edition will I have to wait until I hit stormblood in the msq to get the samurai?
Oh you can also use sleep
just need 60
can you make free trial players tenants to your house
I was thinking of trying sleep too heh I’ll give it a shot
if your level 50 aswel thats all that matters. Just go to Ul'dah and do the quests regarding
another one, what are the benefits of upgrading before finishing heavnsward
gil cap
Removing trial social and trade limitations
oh nice then I wont have to wait to play samurai
Lvl cap, you can also access other classes when you reached the required level
Samurai doesnt need any underlining class. Concidering am a whitemage. All i did was reach lvl 50 and it was there waiting to be plundered
so i just did castru meridianum raid
getting the poietics
how many raids are there in ARR
and should i grind this one
You mean dungeons?
yea
Castrum Merid is a dungeon
sry
Its okay lol
Every expansion has 12 normal raids and 3 alliance raids
Theres quite alot of Dungeons to be fair. I think ive unlocked most from ARR
so should i grind this? or should i move forward the msq
Forward, Poetics gear is just to make the MSQ easier
i really want to get the amour
Not really need it in the first place
armour
Grind out the full 130 set it makss the MSQ soo much easier
Theres lots of dungeons coming up - only one more 8 man dungeon and the rest are 4-man. Theres also 24-man alliance raids you'll get to.
Anyways I wouldnt bother grinding, just move forward - you can do a MSQ Roulette once a day if you really want a lot of poetics and experience
You can do all the roulettes, You'll accumulate 1k ish poetics a day if you done that daily
(You'll unlock MSQ roulette after doing the next 8-man dungeon, Prae)
and They should only be done once
Can you get i think 600 from that alone
yeah the lv 50/60/70 one
Yeah.
From level 50 4-man dungeons, you will. Not the leveling (15-49)
All cap content gives poetics
They don't give much exp, but gives poetics in return
YESSSS
All Lv 50 Dungeons give you poetics
I will probably move forward then
Some are much faster then others. And you get a bonus whenever a new player does it aswel
Yeah, just do your Roulettes daily after you unlocked Praetorium, You'll showered with Poetics
No need to purposely farm them unless you need so much poetics for something like Anima Weapon
Anima weapon?
There are a ton of dungeons up ahead, my duty finder can't even bloody show all the ones that are JUST at level 50 cap. All ARR content
HW relic
are those all soon to come?
Ooooooh
like do i unlock them soon
Yeah, Just do all the unlock quest you encounter
Thats a complicated one
Thats right, some are optional and some via MSQ but you'll see them as you go. You're about to finish Patch 2.0, and the ones you see will be for patches 2.1 - 2.55 (Seventh Astral Era, or "ARR Level Cap Endgame content")
To unlock about 70% of these find people with the + symbol with the quest marker
If you did all your unlock quest, You should've unlocked Wanderer's Keep before you ran into Castrum Meridianum
That is to say, every Base Game and Expansion is split into two parts - the X.0 part (ARR base, Heavensward Base, etc.)
And the X.1 to X.5 part, the "Post-game". The post-game is about half as long, and everything is done at the level cap (so little to no exp but thats okay)
Gave you access to Poetics even before finishing Praetorium
Tonberry's.. uff
Anyone know a link to a BLM rotation guide?
For leveling:
!faq blmrotation
!faq blmleveling
ty!
But for endgame, its likely different. You'll need to check the Balance as the best place for level 80 BLM (and soon, level 90 BLM)
!faq Balance
Okay ty
Im only level 70 right now - but reading that im assuming to transpose before swapping from Umbral to Astral
I was a level 52 BLM but its been almost a year since I played it lol and just boosted it
I have a question then out of the all the EX ARR trials you obtained do all of them give mounts or is it only the primals you face during the MSQ?
No, no Transposing after level 40 iirc
Mog, Odin and ||Ultima weapon|| don’t give mounts
Blizzard 3 and Fire 3 are gonna be your tools for swapping, so definitely study up that sheet above
Oh so its the originals. Fair enough
Is there any benefit from doing those 3? Besides theres a Journal quest for them
Glam and orchestrion rolls I guess
Not anymore, although Odin has a unique set of glamour gear
Am a WHM. Are they gonna be useful for me xD. (DISREGARDING. When i change my class)
There’s a magic set for Odin as well as a physical set
I honestly wish you just sad no 😂😂
Thinking of fighting Odin sends shivers
Especially twice lol
But you have way better gear, so purely glam
This is the Odin gear for Magic, but note that it is NOT unique - it shares a look with many other sets so no need to actually do Odin to get it
How do you see the percentages of a boss? Do people also use mods to see who does the highest dps?
Percentage is in the target settings
ay is there a job in this game that has some kind of parry ? something that has iframes idk
ACT is the dps thing
For this one, char config:
As for mods to see dps,
!faq act
Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.
Please note this software is technically against the FFXIV Terms of Service and should only be used for personal improvement. Mentioning ACT/Parsing in-game, particularly to harass other players, is likely to result in punishment against your Square Enix account.
Can I get centurio seals for level 60 gear at level 60 or are there other requirements.
Is there a way to upgrade my Squadron member from Archer to Bard? (he's lvl 31)
No
I’m on console, so if it’s a mod thing, I’m out of luck
squadrons get basic classes only no advanced jobs
No cause that would be fucking broken
I see, thanks!
Playing on a Pad has a huge disadvantage over keyboard.
From person experience ofx
We’re special since we can do all of them
Yup, nothing for Playstation.
HOWEVER there is a striking dummy trial you can do that will tell you if you're "Good enough" for certain trials. Thats as close as you get
Look up "FFXIV Stone, Sky, Sea"
How many hours did u guys put into heavensward, is it another 150+ hour content? gotta know maybe I can hold off buying the game for more 30 days
Expansions are much shorter than ARR cause it's just 10 levels over 50
But it's like another chunk... Probably 20 or so hours of just story
Plus more for side
really ? I thought that samurai had a jump that had some iframes, but thats ok, thanks!
got it
Do you guys have any recommendations for a quick gil making? Not like, a way to get rich fast, but a quick way to get some gil to buy something (worth 40k or less)
do you have any gatherers or crafters?
I do! My best is a lvl 66 alchemist and 62 mining
or if it's less than 40k, just do roulettes as adventurer in need
Any tips with running dungeons with Squadrons? Seems I gotta spam Engage for my tank to take aggro :/
Thanks!! Is that a special setting or does that just mean I should run some things like trial roulettes?
if you do a roulette as the listed role you get a bonus
you can look at the roulette page, it should list adventurer in need rewards
take the ones with a gil reward
Ah I see, thank you! What if I already did the daily? Can I still do the roulette?
its once a day
Aw darn
you should work on getting one gatherer to 80
for daily treasure map 40k-50k on the MB
you can also check if the lvl 50 or 60 treasure maps are worth anything
and do those daily as well
Ooh I see! I have some treasure maps, they're probably not high leveled but do you think they'd give some quick gil?
you'd have to check the MB
some level 50 ones might still be worth something because they rng another map that rngs some rare stuff. but its been a while
Ahh I see, thank you so much for the help!
Is it possible to have 2 separate set of keybinds. One for my Monk and one for my Samurai or can i not change them to be separate at all
keybinds? or hotbars
Both ig
you can have unique hotbar bindings yes
no skills are shared between jobs
wdym by keybinds
I have unique keybindings for my Monk but i want to use different keybinds for my samurai
the only buttons that are not hotbar buttons you should be pressing is WASD and space
like different from the ones assigned to our hotbars in mnk?
I'm trying to do Dressed to Call but I picked Gil instead of gear. Is buying the overpriced gear from vendors my only option now?
SO in order to learn a spell for BLU, do you have to have BLU currently equipped?
yes
yes, you must be on BLU when the mob dies
Ye so like skill 1 is keybinded to 1 and then the second to 2, etc. Is is possible that i can have different keybinds for each different class
you must Be Blue mage, see the mob cast a spell and be alive when the mob is killed
that's just manually placing your hotbar buttons yes
did you turn on shared hotbars
by default hotbars 1 and 2 are not shared between jobs
yeah what industrial said
I have not touched setting yet lol
so just swap to a different job
and your buttons will be "removed" from your first and second hotbar
i recommend also setting hotbar 3 to not be shared since most jobs have ~3 hotbars worth of skills
Do you have a video that could help me with it. Im not rlly good at setting up hotbars and stuff
I don't really share mine cause mine is very unique
because of how flexible the FFXIV UI is
but gimme a sec then
ty
Can i set up my warrior to hold his weapon like this somehow?
unsheath > /cpose
do note that by default you'll auto sheath after like, 5 seconds
There's a setting in Character Configuration to turn that off as well 
Cool pose > actual functionality

Ok so for HUD layout 2, i can give samurai different keybinds than my Monk or should I keep them all the same
oh right LOL
I just use layout 2 as my default
SAM and MNK use the same hud layout
just the hotbars are different
They keybinds would be the same
Keybinds are across all layouts, aren't they
correct
its just different set ups to the ui elements
yah
Did SquareSoft remove the ability to see the Collectable Appraiser window without having to run all the way back to the NPC???
Ah ok, I mean ill make mine similar to yrs, since its easier to understand
Yes it'd not on timers anymore
yes because the requested items don't change
yes because the collectibles don't rotate anymore
Ah, thank you
The Rarefied items are what they want
Does spiritbond build up again after extracting materia?
their in order right?
no
Yes
How long do the Crystal Tower raids take without wipes?
In order meaning, 1 being yr first skill u use, then 2 being yr second. Like combos and stuff
For me Hotbar 1 is GCD/short cooldown skills, hotbar 2 is conditional/not as often used, hotbar 3 is very conditional
kinda sorta not really
ah
for monk, 123 is rear skills, qer is flank skills, and zxc is AoE skills
Ah ic
for SAM, 123 is combo one, 14q is combo 2, 1e is combo 3
I'm also a fighting game player so the notation makes sense in my head
Im gonna make my skill placement a bit different to yrs since yr keybinds are gonna be difficult for me to play with xD. I use a mmo mouse so using a keyboard alot is to much work for me lol
the fashion report is weekly? or biweekly?
I'm too lazy to buy an MMO mouse which is why my layout is so weird
that's what's so beautiful about an MMO tho
weekly
fml. been doing it biweekly
Just easier to click buttons. Its like 10 times less effort lol but im just lazy so i got it
oh yeah ambidexterity also helps
i'm fairly good about keeping my combos going while moving lmao
¯_(ツ)_/¯
it's your layout first and foremost
Those binds are rather poggers
feel free to use mine for inspiration, but bind your buttons how you like em
Ye I need to sort is out so i can use different classes in the future
you use hotbar 1,2 and 3 only right?
At this point it's too late to pentameld gatherer gear, no? I should just stick with white scrip gear?
for my combat skills yes
if you want to
I use 4 and 5 so gonna scrap them
is there reason to using RoD (Rain of Death) over Quick Nock?
Rod is ogcd
RoD is an Ability
Quick Nock also refreshes RoD/Bloodletter sometimes after level 70
!action Quick Nock
Does the Squadron LB do more dmg than the melee LB?
tbh, the materia are really cheap now, but pentaing gathering gear is questionable at the best of times, so yeah just do scrips
The game is so dark at night i cant see anything is there a torch or something
adjust your brightness
isnt a couple of melds better than scrip?
Like highest bright setting
i could be wrong
Full gamma
adjust your monitor then
Its my tv
what are the best weapon and armours in ARR
Ironworks
poetics
Then it’s a monitor issue, night time in this game isn’t particularly dark by any stretch of the imagination
For ease
how does 60 day sub card works if I have an extra retainer
How do I unlock Naval extreme?
what about relics?
When they say "Pitch Perfect at Three stacks" Does that mean when I have three targets poisoned?
you'll have to pay an extra fee after redeeming your time card
Technically you can throw in gear from Bahamut turn 9-13 and relics
No, when your pitch perfect gauge is full
When you have the song Active, you have the ability to use Pitch Perfect
But those take effort to get
whats the cards "value"
but are they better?
Ohhh ok. I was wondering why it wasnt working, got it.
60 days, so you pay for 2 months worth of retainer subscription
Are there bonuses pre-ordering Endwalker or is it the same as buying it after the release? Lol XD
how do you get them
The arrows at the bottom there when you’re in Wanderer’s Minuet
very long grinds
Those are your pitch perfect stacks
yea but how
Do the long, week(s) long grindy quest chain
Relics are the best weapon in each expansion, noncurrent ones are just glam
which expansions relic are you going for
Starts in vesper bay for arr
ARR
They are not worth your time for anything except glamour
A weaponsmith of legend
600 tomestones is like an hour of grinding
Yeah don’t do that until you have a lvl 80
a relic, especially at level 50, takes at least 2-3 weeks
ARR’s is a hassle
Longer, if you don't have access to the marketboard
did someone say MATERIA MELDING 😂
This look cleaner now?
Yes the exp earring and minion
does it look clean to you is what you should be asking
what works for one doesn't always work for another
I mean ye it does, i can understand everything. I just wanted a layout that i can use universally
then there's your answer
ty
Did they do the same with older expansion? If so then do they ever make a way for us to get them in the future, or will it always be exclusive to just the pre-order?
always exlcusive to the preorder
Is Archer the highest DPS for Command Missions?
I see. That's too bad, lol XD
Do i really need to do anything besides the MSQ up untill im done with shadowbringer?
There’s optional stuff
Job quests
besides that
required? no. should you? yes
Like raids and series trials
Well, you have to do the level 50 trials + Crystal Tower
otherwise, no...?
You'll want to do some
in HW onwards for the aether currents
for the most part the MSQ takes you near some of the aether currents so collecting those on the way should also be something to keep in mind
what are good discord servers for raiding and generell endgame content
for resources or finding groups
mainly for finding people to play with
hey guys im free trial and i reached 300k cap, i was wondering if it's there like items i can buy and when i buy the game, sell them on the market board to get my money back, i was thinking about sylphic silk, but idk
not really
Or what kind of stuff that is worth can i buy ?
most of the ARR and HW mats now are kinda worthless on the MB now
Besides shouting at the top of your lungs. How do you actually go about finding a Free company? Is there a recruitment ingame or? Because Odin servers seems very... ? Quiet?
Here’s a little guide someone made with suggestions https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vTHChdF-HRisOli43NPdmgZrdDcrEDxUqIy3RyoFkuZKtFrGd722hg7PvooOqhPHqk7Fa9qZGktd6li/pub
Nothing amazing though
!faq communityfinder
!faq communityfinder
Gottem
If you're really worried, i'd recommend spending it on stuff like Dark Matter and keeping a healthy supply on you. Alternatively, buy gear for your crafters/gatherers
Is there a good way to make gil as a crafter who isn't 80 yet? Or is the money all at 80
there's select low level items which don't move a ton but the profit margin is huge per item
(hint: it's glam. it's always glam)
but otherwise, yeah, you won't be really making money with low level stuff
especially since 80s now have this
!action trained eye
Thanks for the link.. but i didnt expect to see soo inactive FCs? Looking at other FCs and they are huge. These seem rather tiny in comparison
Despite these items being unique they are useless for me later on so I can just sell them right, unless I want something unique from the dungeons for glamour?
FCs in FFXIV aren't required
so they're mostly just friend group things
it's one of those "its an MMO, gotta have guilds" kind of thing
correct
Oh ofc am aware. I dont want a FC for Friendship and smiles. Just a means to an end
thats fair
Just realized how much this is gonna ruin the prices of lvl 80 craftables...
What's wrong with friendship and smiles
Are level 80 treasure maps really hard?
no, you just need a decently geared tank and a healer
aka: at least ilv 510
Nothing at all but i aint looking for that specifically. Thats all currently
Just need a team for POTD or ARR mounts in that regard
What exactly are you looking for in a FC? For example if you’re after a raid group, that’s not really what FCs are for
Thanks! Darn, I'm not at that stage yet then D: Gotta grind!
Yeah dedicated FCs for certain content aren’t really a thing
You’re gonna wanna look for a discord server, fellowship and/or linkshell
Oh i know but it would be a step in getting to know people.
Grain of rice metaphor comes to mind
are zodiac the final form for relics
Where can I get 'Squadron Battle Manual'?
I'm curious. Do Viera have a similar customization to Hyur, just with bunny ears. Or do Viera have a certain customization that's unique to Viera.
buy from GC quartermaster i think
Isnt the Thyrus classed as a relic of some kind..?
Will check there thanks!
Their appearances, faces etc. are unique to them
Like every race
AWESOME, lol XD
I see :D
I was told I needed to do Crystal Tower quests to head Heavensward, but the MSQ is pointing me elsewhere. Should I do the MSQ first, or does it not matter?
you can proceed with either
it's better to do CT early so you don't mess up the pacing later
cause going from "zoom zoom quest line" to "chill raid time" can ruin the mood
OK, thank you/
My only complaint about the character creation is probably the face cause you choose like 1 face out of 4 or 3, and customize more based on what you pick instead of picking each face part individually like the chin. Maybe that's just me though, lol XD
But otherwise I like it alot though, lol XD
The one with the highest ilvl I presume?
nah its really limiting
theres usually only 1 face that i like
friend of mine getting this error when trying to install the game
anyone have experience with this error and have you solved it?
Questions about levequests. I'm working on the relic weapon for a Ream Reborn, but it's asking me to do a levequest that doesn't exist. The name of the the levequest is "Don't Cry Forget to Cry". Anyone know if there's something I can do to unlock it for how to get this quest?
that shows how many more levequests I can do? How many are gained each day? is there a cap?
you get 6 a day i think
honestly, if you manage to run out of allowances you should get a reward
Same, but it feels abit more limited because of what I mentioned, just like you said limited. That's my complaint.
I think I like every other customization though, lol XD
although people dont usually do combat leves just gatherer/crafter for levelling
the face really limits the choices though like
for male elezen there old man elezen, baby boy elezen and normal elezen x2
does anybody knows why my character isnt runing?
the other options doesnt really change the base face that much
do you have in on walk?
Toggle walk with numpad slash /
i think the default is /
so wait, in order to try out viera I have to be on not trial? 😦
I know. I meant I don't like the limitation the face give us, lol XD
But I still think character creation is awesome though, lol XD
darn, my fight money
Viera are from the latest expansion
I just saw one up close and was low "wow"
worth every penny
trial only goes up to heavensward expansion
just so you know, Viera have limited headgear options
I just want to be able to chose au ra horns and faces as separate options
oh it did notice that on au ra. Are viera ears and faces separate?
yes
which iirc is actually the cause of the headgear issue
internally the ears are hats iirc
ah makes sense
in stormblood that one section where ||you get the imperial clothing and then speak to yugiri she gives the weapon that matches the imperial outfit? or no cuz i cant find it in my inventory?||
does crafting lower level item actually lowers the exp gain of that crafting recipe?
There is no weapon
The exp rewarded by a given recipe is a fixed amount, with a bonus depending on how much you filled the hq bar.
But you don’t level crafters by grinding recipes anyway
Hey guys, after level 50 IL 130 poetic gear whats the next set of gear to get?
Hi, i want to get empyrean bracelet. they say i can get it from confederate custodian exchange. when i talk to him it doesnt seem like i can toggle his shop. is there a prerequisite?
By level 55 in the story you’ll be getting dungeon and quest reward gear that outclasses it
Thing is I am already level 59 so do I just wait till I get to that point in the story?
At the first trial boss in HW
uh I might be blind but I can't tell the difference between shadowbringers and collector's edition
owait there's also a complete edition???
just wait till you get to that point, you get quest reward gear and dungeon gear along the way
collectors edition is more expensive also have minions and mounts
Collectors edition just gives ingame cosmetics
A mount, minion and glamour weapon
You have a chance to, yes
anyone know percent :<
@graceful sail have you reached floor 100 of hoh yet?
oh those things sound not that important
are cordials the only way to regen GP faster?
Why are there much more people playing MCH in PoTD than RDM or GNB
Or like, what does MCH have to offer in PoTD that RDM or GNB cant
MCH is fast
Casters have damage but slow
It's almost silly
do you mean leveling them or actually going deep down
No, it is silly
Nah going for 200
running a tank is probably the easier way to do it
At level 50/60 every expansion DPS class is overtuned in some say
because you can mitigate damage with your own skillset instead of relying solely on pomanders
MCH in particular just does silly amounts of burst
so..............how does one buy a house 🙂
luckily that last one doesn't apply to me but thanks 😛
for more specifics, if I remember right, you must have a combat job at Level 50
and you must have cleared the "The Ultimate Weapon" MSQ
owait I'm reading that it might be better to stay on trial for a while but would I lose progress changing to viera later? 😮
how do you tank leviathans huge underwater move? we've all wiped twice now
To unlock hard/extreme dungeons and trials I need to complete msq of that particular expansion correct?
you must utilize the stabilizers on the boat

they charge energy overtime, and once you reach a specific phase of the fight you need to turn the stabilizer on to deploy the shield
no, you get a free fantasia at the end of ARR you can just use that to change race, just hold on to it until you buy the game
ah...I guess I'll wait until then instead :/
use it when it pops up?
need to hop to it and do the story
are you doing the hard mode one, the extreme one, or the unreal one?
Is the Ishgard Restoration a daily reset kinda thing?
Nah it's unlimited
thank you for ur advices btw
The "daily limited" stuff is your leves and the GC turn ins
OH that's such a relief, thank you!!
Ishgard is meant to be done after you're out of daily exp income or you're lazy
I see!
np
ty we killed it
Myradrosh(lv50) is up if anyone in Omega want to kill it
that's a B rank hunt
B rank hunts are always available (they spawn within 3 seconds after death)
and only gives an award to players who have it set as their weekly target
ohh didn't know that there were ranks for elites/rares
B, A and S
I'm wondering if there's anywhere to see my desynth value for my crafters?
S ranks are very rare and have weird requirements to spawn
A ranks are what Hunt trains mostly go for
yup, there are
B ranks (spawns very quickly, rewards only once a week)
A ranks (spawns within 3-4 hours, only 1-2 per zone)
S ranks (spawns within 51 hours, specific conditions to spawn)
pre-level 50 mining, should I just be getting gear from the job quests and the gear vendors?
i see that this wasn't answered
housing is under an RNG system where you stand around on an open plot and hit the placard for the option to buy it repeatedly
is it possible to share ui setups in this game?
the issue is that the timer on when yo ucan actually buy is random from anywhere from 2 to 48 hours so you could be standing there all night and still not get it
are you actually mining
along with competition
like, you are going to gathering points and completing the logs?
the add on and
what does this means ???
@lone totem right this moment Im doing levequests
it probably just means it's an expansion is all
since it's an add-on to ffxiv base game y'know
add-on is just what psn calls dlc
(add-on) on PSN means that the content has been added to the game after the game has officially released
I saw it calling SHB a level earlier, cracked me up
the whole expansion
i dont want it to be an add on of something
yes
it is the expansion
it adds onto the expansions and base game
good
you can update your gear just through quests and should be alright, might want to consider buying a new main hand/off hand every 10 or so levels
an expansion is an add-on to the base game
i mean the expansion IS an add-on of something if you want to be technical
thx again folks
but you are buying the correct version yes
it is on ps4 but i made an mistake and i bought it lol but i was going to get it any way but i wanted to shop others but opps lol but its good lol
Hello friends 🙂 Another wow refugee here.
I've been playing the FFXIV free trial for the past week on Steam and I just purchased the expansion pack on the SquareEnix site at a discount, but the only activation option is via Steam, which means I'd have to purchase it again at full price.
I thought uninstalling the trial might fix things, but that was a "no". Any idea how I bypass this roadblock and activate the game?
Hi, i want to get empyrean bracelet. they say i can get it from confederate custodian exchange. when i talk to him it doesnt seem like i can toggle his shop. is there a prerequisite?
You cannot activate the non-Steam game code on an account that’s used the Steam trial, there is no way to bypass this
Can u do duty roulette multiple times per day or is it pointless
Im leveling up my healer
^
you must restart your progress if you want to use the code by making a new account sadly
once a day, you can do it more than one but only get the bonus for the first one
Kk so highest lvl spam
correct me what you get on steam has to be on steam and by steam and if you bought something outside of that then you deal with the other
youre gonna have to get the game from square enix and start over from a new char @charred tapir
or returning it and then buying on steam but that's not recommended
You have two options:
- Start fresh on a new account using the code you’ve bought, lose all your current free trial character progress
Or
- Pay again to buy the full game on steam instead
@jade quartz Yes, I understand that, but I don't know how to activate the game on the SquareEnix site as the link brings me to the Steam page.
Job needed?
Need to make a new service account
Do u get uhhh those vouchers for serpent stuff
"Adventurer in Need (Job)"
@charred tapir are you trying to activate it on a fresh standalone SE account or the steam account you've been using
you can see it on the duty finder
because it will direct you to steam if you're using your steam one
which, as said earlier, is not possible to redeem on anyway
It says adventurer in need healer
Steam and non-Steam PC versions are incompatible
so while you can only claim the roulette bonus once a day, you can keep running it to get the gil bonus
as a healer
Can’t have both registered on the same service account
aye
? lyon what if the person can play on pc pr ps4 what ever version that person bought it but log on that account id but if to play on steam needs to pay again ?
Says 2100 xp 1125 gil 882 thingies for in need bonus
Yes @outer mural I understand that. I've tried to create a new SquareEnix account but to no avail.
Serpent seals
the adventurer in need bonus is listed below it
!faq freetrial
882 serpent seals seems good
you can go here, downoad the standalone free trial and make an account through this
the same thing applies
if you have a standalone PC license and a ps4 lincese, it doesn't matter since you already have the PC license which is sitll not compatible
see the bottom part that says 7110 gil
My adv in need is more stuff 4 some reason
same idea if you have steam and ps4 instead
If you play on PS4 then you can also play on Steam or PC but you must buy the game license for that platform. But it’s never possible to play both Steam and PC versions on one account.
go ahead and do it
amh araeng is in stormblood right
Ez
I believe you can get other stuff for things like guildhest roulette, alliance raid roulette etc
shadowbriners
Oooo
You can play PS4 and Steam, you can play PS4 and PC, but you can never play PC and Steam.
^
so far there are 4 licenses of clients and that pc and mac and ps4 and steam and if you want to play on those you have to pay for each if you want to switch devices
my game is inverting shadows in this forest area, anyone know how to fix? super annoying
And PS5!
is that lightning maybe? @shy sail lol
are not ps4 and ps5 the same just same upgrade ?
What do you mean? Might just be lightning weather?
ahhhhhhhh
there are 4 licenses correct but you can only have ps4 and ONE version of PC
omg
there is a free upgrade campaign for PS4 players to upgrade to the PS5 version, free of charge
it is lightning
same thing happened to me, i thought it was a lighting bug
What are the best ways to convert GC seals/poetics into Gil? In terms of stuff to sell on the MB
I thought my video card was having a stroke
then i realized it was lightning lolllll
the same as it was for the PS3 version to the PS4 version
This game sure been out a long time
Mac is compatible
what ???
So no one plays it
How do you get Kinna Greatsword from the Palace of the Dead?
It’s not very well-optimised
i just deleted it since my statement was just wrong
you can play the game on any platform you want as long as you pay for the platform
yeah i did my research on mac and ppl have had issues and i never bought the ff14 version of mac lol
TIL 
but yeah PC and steam are not compatible yeah and the est of your statement is correct rix
I understand all of the cross-platform restrictions. I downloaded the setup from the email link, but as I said, it brings me to the Steam app. Ergo, the reason I uninstalled the Steam trial. I'll just struggle on until I get this figured out. Thank you all very much for your assitance ❤️
No, using steam is fine
U gotta buy the game on mac?
One or the other.
what exactly is directing you to the steam page
And ps5?
Yes it’s a separate license
i'm very confused on how the launcher would do that
Yes
Neat
Talk to E Sumi Yan when you leave, he can convert your aether levels to items you need to then cash in for weapons
You need the two lower tiers before you go Kinna
it's 10 aetherpool from both weapon and armor for 1 currency, and you will need 3 currency
so be very careful on if it's worth it to lower your levels for kinna weps
There are no choices in the game that would result in a bad ending?
I thought it was 9 in total for a Kinna weapon
None
wait no that's padjali, kinna weapons may be higher
@vagrant crescent no it's an entirely linear story
dialogue chjoices are for flavor only
Ok. That's good, lol XD
Plus your old weapon, right?
yeah plus your old weapon
so yeah it's a heavy investment for one kinna wep
I had to get a drk weapon twice cause I wanted to have both for glamours
oh no bro
? if in the future when and if i do get a ps5 and to play FF14 and what does this means for me ? i have a ps4
@turbid pilot I have pad and I wanted to see if I haft to do anything else other than collect the Aetherpool Grip
so up to kinna and then padj again?
do the store mounts ever go on sale? i see the job boosts on sale
nop you just get the grips and keep your old weapon
occasionally but not often and not telegraphed in any way at all
Cause I saw someone sent this message in someone stream so that got me abit worried. That's why.
It was the choice for after you created a character. Like Power, Glory, or Fortune. LolXD
that is 100% a meme
Maybe he was just joking though, lol XD
Oh? Lol XD
er keep it so you can turn it in. Don't trash it or desynth it or smth
my friend rhyno says that shit all the time for my sprout friends
and they get baited into it every time lmao
like the Cape Westwind one
Oh wow, lol XD
however if you don't get 5/5 stars on the emet-selch dating sim you don't see the 5th phase of the zodiark fight
jokes aside yeah there is nothing that is affected by decisions, even the ones that say they do. it's mostly a very similar or inconsequential divergence at worst
you'll mostly see it in Eureka, Bozja and the Nier raids
I heard if you wipe to cape westwind 3 times, the game teleports you to a new arena and you get to fight the special bonus boss tuba mage from youtube
If you have reached floor 50 or 100:
A Gelmorran potsherd will be awarded. This item can be traded to the NPC E-Una-Kotor in the South Shroud at Quarrymill.
Does this mean finishing any floor set from 41-50 till 91-100 or just those floor sets
@outer mural My SquareEnix account sends me to the MogStation where my only option is to use Steam to upgrade to the full version via paying full price.
you need to clear the set yeah
hey there! I've been trying to find parties to do synced ARR endgame duties and I didn't know if maybe there was a Primal synced content discord? I saw there was one for Crystal, but I haven't had any luck finding a Primal one
so if you clear the 41-50 set you get a potsherd automatically inserted into your inventory on completion
or 91-100
those floor sets cannot be easily accessed either because you need to clear 1-49 to do 50
Only those 2 sets
and 51-99 to do 100
